No.6 cosplay
By: Weisel Date: May 14, 2014, 12:49 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I'll admit, I can talk about cosplay all day long, and
cosplaying No.6 characters is one of my favorite things to do.
So if anyone else has a passion for cosplay, wants to cosplay,
or even has questions about cosplay, let's talk about it here!
I'm also happy to answer any questions or at least point you in
the right direction about No.6 cosplay specific things, like how
to keep your Nezumi ponytail sticking up all day, how to make
your superfiber scarf from looking bulky, where to get the wigs
and contacts you need, how on earth Eve's dress is actually
constructed, how the heck do you even put Shion's mark on your
body without getting it all over your clothes...

@Weisel YES I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I NEEDED THIS BOARD BUT THANK YOU
okay, me and my friend are interested in doing some casual
cosplays of Nezumi and Shion, so we don't exactly need to know
about their clothing, but it would be really nice to know your
technique for doing Nezumi's ponytail... also Shion scar makeup
help would be nice... what brand do you use? I have experience
doing Homestuck cosplay (don't know if you know a thing about
Homestuck, but the cosplay involves painting your entire body
grey

so
I have experience with Ben Nye, but that stuff is hella
expensive. I know about the whole sealing-with-baby-powder thing
though.

I'm definitely going to answer your questions, but I want to
make sure I do an accurate and thorough job of it, so I'll be
posting everything probably tonight once I properly document
everything (since just following text is trickier than having
pictures to help, especially when it's something like cosplay
where it's entirely about visuals). So I'll be back later with
all kinds of answers! I now have a mission today! I'm actually
ridiculously excited to do this.

So I totally got my Nezumi wig process documented and I'm
planning on doing the Shion scar process soon... But guess who's
roommate didn't pay the internet bill?! So posting will have to
wait until tomorrow night when I can use wifi from elsewhere.
Also I was planning on doing my Shion scar stuff tonight but it
just started storming here so I'm probably going to lose power
at some point soon which means no light to use.
But hey, wearing my newly styled Nezumi wig yesterday was fun!

@Weisel aww yeah I can't wait for these undoubtedly awesome
tutorials. I'm sorry about your wifi, that sounds like a bummer.
(The other day mine just cut out for no reason, and I was like
-- but how am I gotta go on the No. 6 forum???? Fortunately it
came back on by the next morning ^^;)

I plan on cosplaying Nezumi soon (really excited for it!!!) and
I pretty much have everything except for the scarf and the wig.
So I have two questions based on this: does anyone know where to
buy good wigs for his hair (in the anime adaption, so like a
navy blue) and what fabric do you think would be best for the
scarf? thanks!~ ^^

ARGH still no wifi! And I live in a tiny town so it's not an
option to mooch wifi from a Starbucks or anything. I'm still
pretty sure I can't post pictures from my phone here... I don't
think I can just make a tumblr post and put a link here, but
I'll try anyway.
But to at least explain some things that I WILL be posting here,
I'll be showing how to style Nezumi's hair at a minimal cost and
then showing two ways to make Shion's scar relatively cheaply.
As for fabric for Nezumi's scarf, I'd recommend something a
little heavier that still has a little bit of drape to it. If I
manage to get to a fabric store sometime, I'll pick out a few
specific materials that will work well. Also my tip for the
actual shape of the scarf is to not cut it into the square shape
it is in the anime. It'll be a lot less bulky if you fold the
material in half and instead of cutting it into a right
triangle, make it an elongated triangle. Then that's less fabric
piled up in front of you and it's easier to tie. Sorry, Nezumi.
Your design is once again only possible with anime physics.
For wigs, I pretty much always go to eBay. All of my No.6
cosplay wigs are from various sellers on eBay, which includes
Shion, Nezumi, Inukashi, and Eve. If you need any help finding
what you want on there, I can help with that, too.
So today I'll try to get something figured out for posting,
though I can't promise anything... The whole wifi thing is just
plain ridiculous by this point. The last time I didn't have any
connection here was nearly a year ago.

Alright thanks!!! ^^ it would be a great help if you could help
me find wig sellers on ebay and a few choice specific fabrics
when you do manage to get your wifi back but thanks for the
advice now!! c: I hope you get your wifi back, I would love to
see some of your completed cosplays.

Alright, here's the Nezumi ponytail tutorial!

I'd like to redo my pictures for it after I'm done with Shion's
scar and when I don't have this headache I've had for two weeks
now... But we'll see! I hope it explains enough and I'm more
than happy to answer any questions.
@dragonflame185: I can help find some wigs for you on eBay and
message those links to you tomorrow no problem. Also I should be
able to stop by a fabric store on Wednesday so I'll do some
fabric searching there then.

Thanks for the tutorial! (now I just gotta find a wig x3) I
already found a fabric I think will work out well (me and my
friend will try it today see what happens) but I think it would
be nice to have a kind of back-up fabric, just in case. :) thank
you so much!!! ^_^
